1.12.10 - We've started a chore chart for Andrew. Just basic things like brush teeth, comb hair, get dressed, eat breakfast, make your bed, clean up toys, set the table, etc.
He is so proud of himself when he accomplishes a task and gets to mark an X on the box to show it's been completed for the day. He never complains or says he doesn't want to do something. He is happy to help out around the house and enjoys the praise he receives for the great job he is doing.
Here is a photo of his bed that he made this morning. Is it perfect? No. Do I want to walk over there and straighten it up? You betcha. Am I going to straighten up? Not a chance. One day he'll learn to make his bed nice and tidy but until then I'm going to appreciate his untidy messy made bed because he did it all on his own. As a mom I think you need to learn to embrace the perfectly imperfect things in your life.
